An organisation set up in the memory of murdered schoolboy Rhys Jones has shared its 'devastation' at the news of the killing of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
The Rhys Jones Foundation and community centre was established in Croxteth in the wake of the murder of 11-year-old Rhys, who was shot dead when walking home from football training in 2007. The community centre is committed to bringing about change through education, raising aspirations and community unity.
Responding to news of the senseless killing of nine-year-old Olivia, who was shot dead at her home in Dovecot last night on the 15th anniversary of Rhys' death, the foundation said: "The Rhys Jones Foundation are devastated to hear the news that last night a nine-year-old girl sadly lost her life due to gun crime. 15 years to the day that we lost Rhys.
